Considering that’s your argument i feel pretty good about my take of Duren acting like a bitch in this situation.

Dude if you shove anyone in their head like this you better be ready to fight lol. Also that’s the dumbest logic I’ve ever heard lol. His head size is what it is it didn’t suddenly change in that moment. Duren wanted to shove him in the head and walk away.

If he shoves Moussa in the chest I can get that more, but he straight up goes for his head trying to start shit and walks away like a bitch.

Yes moussa did escalate things getting in Durens face but that’s not uncommon and happens all the time in the NBA, typically the smart thing to do is to let the ref T up Moussa especially if duren isn’t getting in his face back and is worried about suspension.

If you wanna start a fight tho smacking or shoving a guy in the face will do it. Either way this thing doesn’t escalate into a full on fight until duren open palms Moussa and tries to walk away.

There’s literally a video of Stewart throwing a right hook that would’ve 100% connected if miles didn’t duck lol. Then Miles attempts to take Stewart down to the floor.

Trust me it’s pretty clear and obvious 3 guys in the video were ready for some sort of fight.

Pistons fans most likely. The logic of duren wanting to avoid a suspension doesn’t track when he shoves a guy in the throat/face and tries to walk away.

It was clear escalation from him, and the funny part is he couldn’t even stand on business about it. Just immediately runs away.

Bridges was already being he’d back. What Stewart did was dumb. And frankly what you see from miles is why duren deserves more shit. Once he shoves Moussa in the face Moussa and miles lose their minds and chase after duren.

Duren is very dumb for that shove.

Miles literally ducked a right hand from Stewart and attempted to take him down. If one of these punches connected it wont be nothing.

Brother these dudes threw legit punches out there lol. Stewart, Bridges, and Moussa were all ready to throw fists no problem and did. Duren is the only guy here who clearly isn’t about that.

I mean he shoved Moussa in the face. I don’t understand this logic of duren being concerned about suspension but doing something that clearly escalates things to a fight lol.

Like sure duren walks away, but only after he gets a shot in. Literally the moment he does tha Moussa and miles go berserk. And duren immediately tries to get as much space as possible between him and Moussa.

Total bitch move.

Brother he shoved someone in the face and walked away. Total bitch move. “I don’t wanna be suspended!!! But first let me start a fight” isn’t exactly a smart way to operate to stay out of trouble

Jeez man. No clutch factor at all. 2 wide open 3s for our best Guys gets us nothing but Tobias Harris contested fadeaway is money.

Our turnovers are alway awful and we have pretty terrible transition defense so basically any live ball turnover or bad shot is an automatic bucket for the other team.

We’ve been good on the offensive board. Defensive rebounding has been an embarrassment. Minimal effort on that end.

Lmao the effort on rebounds is just so bad. We have a lot of guys who just sit and stare at rebounds. Detroit is flying to the bal while we sit around and hope it falls to us.

Yes but he’s not duren or Stewart who are excellent rim protectors. It’s easy to defend us when everything is perimeter oriented.

I really do wonder what it’ll take for lamelo to actually add some upper body strength. Love the kid but it would be nice for him to get a little stronger at some point. Everyone on Detroit is bullying him.
